Built and installed following the basic tips on Garuda’s home page. No issues so far, but then I’ve not tested everything. If anyone wants me to test specific features (and I have that hardware) I’ll be playing with the 16 for a while before settling on a (or several…) *nix distribution to use so do ask.
Would you mind installing power-profile-daemon, set it up and then check your power consumption? (idle and youtube videos on full hd or higher)
I am really worried how easy it will be to set up power saving tools on the 16…

power-profiles-daemon was installed already (by default or maybe I clicked to add a software bundle, don’t recall). In balanced mode a quick and dirty test gets me ~9 hours on idle, a bit over 5 hours running full screen 1080HD YouTube videos.

Ok, thank you very much for your fast answer 
First I thought “only 5 hours?” but then I imagined that 5 hours is an entire afternoon and that is great 
My current laptop turns off after 45 minutes when watching youtube videos, so the 16 will be a huge improvement!
I didn’t watch videos for 5 hours for sure 
Had a Triumph 1200GT update review to watch so it made a reasonable test.
